Napoleon's march an,Russia,' he had eight. or, ten 'of these corps inactive ser.vice:--ma king a field army .of from 250,000 to 300,000 men, From the elements we have given, it, will be seen that howevir huge the army may be, it is so organized as to be perfect in nil its prirts,.and moves witliezact order and In the held all ciders and operations are carried on through:the staff of the army, .and 'when we come to actiVe service, the;staff is the Most . importanf part of tlie army; for this baing . a vast•maciiine, of, which each part is perfectly. obedient to arid directed by the' head, it iS evident:that . all must depend on the 'ability..a.nd .discernment of the stiff through which it acts... It is in vain that Scott. or spy great generalcommands, . if the staff officers are incompetent. ..; The staff consists of the.aids, the adjutant . I general, the engir,eef, :and the' quartermaster, and commissiary aeyyerals. Through the adjii tant general all- 'orders are • contreyed, to . each particular part. By the qurrtermastergeneral all transportations, and vehicles, and. horses are furnished; btthe commissiary all supplies; by the' engineer the topography of the country is thoroughly. examined: the practicability of. passes deterinined, fortifications built or at tacked. Then the staff of; an army becomes 'its eyes, and all its faculties, the. general sim ;ply deciding the movement of the army on the fact and.elements .•thifs furnished. In the grand Trench armies there was a chief-of-the. staff, or. head of the ictive . Military Wrenn. Natieleon's time, this 'chief-of-the staff vvas marshal Berthier,. deemed one otthe ablest ()theirs of .the French army. Isiapoleen knew . the value of a good.stati and had abler men Hy it than Were at the heads of the divisiOns. • HOW T.O TAse . :Ur Tnens.—Every ono, must be aware, at least with a moment's Teflection, that if a tree could be reMoved.with all its roots, including all the numerous' thread,like radicals, and plated in the soil, precisely as it stood before, it would suffer no hindrance.— The nearer . We.approach this cOndition, there fore, the greater will be . our success. • Many people wonder why trees are:so much checked by transplanting—they are surd that nearly all the roots have been removed with them. It: they could very carefully examine the roots, they would arrive at a different con= elusion. By wishing the soil away from the trees, the roots are found to run long distances. The old theork, that the roots extend over an equal area with the Branches, is far 'from cor rect; and the later one that.the diameter :of the circle of roots is only, equial to the • height of the tree, is still short of the truth. Care ful examination shows that they-generally ex tend so far each - side as the full height of -the tree. • For example, • the extreme fibersof a tree, four feet-high ' (proVided it has :plenty , of room' to, develop- itself,, and is 'of stocky growth) will.be found about eight feet apart. The minateneseof thread-like form or these fibers prevents their being usually perceived. 'To secure ttAcitul stipplY of fibers smallor mod. erate sized trees must first be - chosen, for it - is impracticable to take . OP any 'considerable ,portion on large trees. • Renee small,tieeegen erally,outgrow' large 'ones itra few years, and make finerand more thrifty.bearers. Second ly, good tools must be procured for . .the,ppera-' Aron; with a small* short,' feeble spade, it is nearly impossible.—Country demlemen. . • .. . . . !elve s :wish our chiidern to revere, high +hin.s —thingiMmple,.sod two, and loyely,. ti.n4 of' .good repor t --we must set them the exmple; . ; .z , Organisation add 'NAB of aq , Ainy COVE , . . . .. .„. ,„ . sgEmpoßT, - WKEAN.COUNTY;.,:fLi..:TH.KISDAt , ',M* ... .O,-.1,8011t....:':1;, . • • Hanniesunon, Merl°. . • %The following it's . ..true copy of the bill of fered by flfr.. : Duiffeld, and Which ,Inis • patied both-branches ; of the Legisleture,., ielati l4 o judgments and executions: .• SEcirow it.enO,Otortbs, aptato gotise Reprooomtatives of the, co;ninittnir ari l of k'slinaituania, in amoral Apon . stly jut, it is /only enacted :try ; the authority' of , the Sam, That upon all judgments now renasining onset . - Wed, . or' w,hich•rney,- be obtained within six months' from- the 'palette orthis act, there shall be eltay of execution, for one year item , the pasinge hereof as regards judgments :lOW existing, and from their date as regards judg. meets obtained 'after the date hereof....
